Downtown Fashion Business

Downtown Fashion Business


 Las Vegas makes millions of dollars from all the conventions that are held every year.

There is a group of young entrepreneurs trying to capitalize on all that business and bring it downtown.

The fashion industry trade show called magic going is expected to bring people from dozens of countries and benefit the Las Vegas valley to the tune of 100 million dollars. The group is hoping to breathe life into downtown by showing visitors what Vegas has off the strip.

Meghan Boyd's passion is fashion and she's behind a movement downtown to bring a budding Las Vegas fashion industry dream into reality.

"It's really great to bring in other businesses downtown, and to provide a space where they can collaborate and co work and spark creativity, and there's so much already happening downtown and we want to be apart of that," Said Boyd, founder of Las Vegas Fashion Lab.

Crews set up lights and prepared a back ally behind Fremont Street to play host to an event aimed at putting the Las Vegas' fashion scene on the map. Fashion models, make up artists and designers are putting on a show for around 700 bloggers, writers, and VIPs. They want to show that downtown could be a new fashion mecca.

"We think it's interesting enough to bring that crowd off the strip, out of the night clubs and into an ally and to party," adds Chris Ramirez, founder of Silver State Productions and co-sponsor of the event.

A new incubator business called Las Vegas fashion lab is set to open later this year. It's just a hint of what could become a huge player in the fashion industry.

The goal is to turn out clothes and create designs that capture the imaginations of locals around the world and into the heart of downtown Vegas.
